Midwood-Tower, New York. 1961, 188p., faintly musty, otherwise very good first edition PBO in original camp GGA pictorial wraps. Lesbian pulp fiction. Grier T. Midwood no. 29. "Women in love - but not with men!" set in Provincetown, Cape Cod. Block has stated that he never wrote as Lord or Dexter or any of the other pseudonyms attributed to him. But as another research notes, this is the man who wrote the book "Telling Lies for Fun and Profit!" Block does list this title on his site as by himself.
